Default 1986 Mustang GT Intake Manifold leak

I was told Im looking coolant from my manifold so Its time to change the gaskets.(1986 GT)
Wanted to wait till I can uprade on my manifold(Trick flow etc.) but dont want to continue driving
like it is.
Is this something that is just a matter of keeping my eye on the coolant or should
I not drive at all unless its fixed.
Also if I cant upgrade now any tips or anything else that I can do if I keep the stock manifold.
Thanks

If the car is running ok as it is, keep an eye on it but get it fixed when you can.
If it's an actual gasket that's leaking, then it's a simple fix but which gasket is it? Throttle body? Upper to lower? Lower to head?
If you were intending on upgrading, then go ahead and change the intake while you're at it. It'd be a good time to do it since the intake is coming off anyway.

Ask me why I ran "only" a 13.54.
